Title: 2002 Levrone is Underrated
Post by: Mr.1derful on February 28, 2016, 01:26:32 PM


Quads may have been down a bit, but his conditioning was spot on.  Superb midsection and great routine.

Shame about his legs. I guess he had a back injury that hampered his leg training? if he had his legs (and by extension his '98-'99 look) - he could have taken Ronnie that year.

Damn, he looks awesome there. 100% destroys Heath.

Great rountine indeed, but man you guys are sooooo gay for Levrone, there is no "no homo" to type here, it's pure homomania for Kevin@getbig...

Anyone from the late 90's and before, we all experience such feelings for  :D :D I mean, can you blame us? Look at what steps on stage these days (and this is one of his better pictures)

And I  know they all, do it, so I'm not particularly picking on Branch, but when did the 90 degree crooked arms become mandatory when standing relaxed?  Compare just that aspect of an 80's lineup to one today - talk about ILS...  ???

This pose constantly highlights Branch's forearm imbalance.

Quads are asymmetrical

Pecs are asymmetrical

Lats are asymmetrical


But Branch undoubtedly did very well in the symmetry round  ::)

People are never happy with current crops of bb'ers. Mark my words. In 10 years you will all be praising the exact people you are all shitting on right now.

That's all an excuse about his leg training  ::)

Funny after he retires he begins barbell squatting 405-500 for reps, yeah back problems did affect his leg training hahaha more like he's doing it now to push his supplements

That's because Kevrone was so good.

Look at today's lineup and compare, pure shit :D

Not sure about that.  I think we'd be talking about an upside down v taper.

Ronnie was down in size but still way ahead of Levrone.

Bob Chick is a moron.

Nope. And your words have been marked. The physiquws up until now have been good. When Jay ushered in the era of mediocrity, it really started to go down hill.

Yes, we are. For the most part, people were pretty happy, and are still pretty happy with the bodybuilders of the 50s, 60s, 70s. 80s, and 90s. Of course some looked like shit, but overall, people were happy with the current crop of pros during those eras.

Really?
People do nothing but bitch...

We got a few ever so annoying non stop fan boy threads on the same names that come up multiple times a week, but that's it.

Who complains about bodybuilders from the 1990s? Everyone agrees here that the majority of them looked good.

I said we agree that the majority of bodybuilders from the 90s looked good and get appreciation. Of course there are someone who looked like shit and get taken to task.

Hence, the word MAJORITY, not ALL. Overall, bodybuilders from the 90s are definitely more appreciated on getbig than the current crop of pros. That so much is obvious.

Not disagreeing but he was still ahead of Levrone and everyone else
